The Cub Scout Uniform

Why Do We Wear Class "A" Uniforms?

We wear the uniform because it is a means of identifying ourselves openly with the principles to which we are committed-character development, citizenship training, and physical and mental fitness.

The uniform is not intended to hide our individuality, each of us is unique. But it is a way we give each other strength and support. It is a bond that ties us together in spite of our differences. It is a way of making visible our commitment to Scouting. The Scouting movement is built on positive values. As we wear the uniform, we are openly identifying ourselves with those values where everyone can see us. We stand together, not alone, in encouraging others to live by those same principles. Boys should take pride in belonging to such a movement and wear the uniform as it is intended.

The uniform also does these things for a boy:
  • It reminds him to live up to the Cub Scout Promise, Law of the Pack, and motto - Do Your Best.
  • It encourages neat, correct appearance as well as proper behavior.
  • It provides the only place for proper display of his badges and awards.
  • It reminds him of the steps along the Scouting trail and encourages him to continue into Boy Scouting.
Please note that individual uniform parts should not be worn with civilian clothing, and that various other types of Cub Scout garments are available, such as T-shirts, sweat shirts, red patch vests, etc. These are for casual wear and are not considered part of the official Class "A" uniform.
